GET READY FREDDY’s record over hurdles is modest but he looked a reformed character when scoring by 16 lengths over fences on Tuesday on his first start for the Skeltons. He’s 3lb lower back over timber so has obvious claims. Sky of Stars has been raised 5lb for winning at Stratford but looks the danger, though Arabian Oasis has been kept ticking over on the Flat since finishing second at Carlisle in May and Overtoujay won over a longer trip here in June.
